New Studio Strobes and other toys...

I realized it's been quite some time since i've made a post, and I have made a couple fun purchases since my last post, so i decided to update you a little. I purchased 2 1600 watt alienbee studio strobes, some of the cheap ebay wireless flash triggers, and a "digital" holga lens (basically just the holga lens glued onto a canon body cap... cheap, but fun nonetheless!) I figured I ought to post some new pictures up so you could give them a look!

The alienbees test shots:

This is Olivia's latest look, I'm getting this smug expression on a daily basis now, oh ten year old sisters. :)

And the Holga lens:

I know it's a little noisy, but it was dark by the time the mail came, so I had to play around with it indoors with the iso turned up real high, notice the sweet spot is through the center and top-center of the pictures with the nice holga-esque dropoff very evident everywhere else. I'm quite pleased with the lens! It definitely turns my very expensive DSLR images into very cheap looking Holga replicas :)
